Binky

Sometimes I feel like I just need to scroll but I don’t actually want to be on social media! This is exactly what I need for that! No social media nonsense just the satisfaction of scrolling. Hey, gotta take it one step at a time. And this is the first step for me. Great idea! My only suggestion is that it’s kind of difficult to actually get the posts to swipe away. Maybe there is some way to make them swipe away more smoothly?

Got diagnosed with OCD recently and excessive scrolling on sites is a symptom of mine. Like completely unintentional 13-hour stretches with no break till my eyes hurt kind of thing. I’m learning to embrace the discomfort of not giving into those urges, but at times when the anxiety is too much to bear, this is a good mediator. It keeps me aware of the fact that my brain wants mindless scrolling, not a real urgent task to complete. Thank you for this app.

I’ve been going crazy trying to quit social media during lockdown. Just downloaded Binky and it’s actually quite soothing. If you want to rub your phone without all the politics, drama, and fear of the last year you should just download binky. 10/10 I would recommend.
